In a significant anti-drug operation, the Bamutia police successfully seized 75 bottles of the banned cough syrup, Eskuf, from the Rangutia area of Tripura, said officials. The raid, executed at the residence of Narayan Das, resulted in the recovery of the illegal Eskuf cough syrup. While no arrests were made during the operation, authorities managed to locate and seize 75 bottles of the contraband from a nearby forest on Tuesday evening.
The operation took place under the leadership of officer-in-charge Slanthony Jamatia. "The raid was conducted based on a tip-off. The operation targeted the house of Narayan Das, son of Manik Das, in the Rangutia area. Despite finding no illicit substances inside the house, the police discovered the Eskuf cough syrup hidden in the adjacent forest," Jamatia said.
